    Off topic but bun is a funny word


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,465 ✭✭✭✭cantdecide


    "I guess" replacing "I suppose".

    Was there something wrong with the latter?


  • Posts: 26,052 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    People who describe themselves as 'alternative' and 'open minded' but are just gullible and easily convinced.

    Homeopathy fans, I'm looking at YOU. <<<< >>>>

    lack of .. words.

    "Are you going cinema"
    "Eh no, I'm going to the cinema thank you very much"

    "Going Disco?"

    or the worst..

    "H'O's?"
    I mean what is an honest'opinion and what's it posessing?


  • Registered Users Posts: 403 ✭✭Humans eh!


    When people finish a sentence with the word 'so'

    Usually dragged out as in 'sooooo'

    People do it all the time, Grrrr.

    'Literally' whereas the person means 'figuratively'. "I literally died laughing". No you didn't you moron.

    Also 'almost literally'. Something is either literal or it isn't.

    Was reading a article about the closure of HMV and they quoted someone from facebook who claimed to be "literally gutted" about it. Messy!

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    'The big freeze' to describe frosty or snowy weather around December or January. In my day it was called 'winter'.

    "Mum". :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    You're Irish. She is referred to as either Mam or Ma.

    "Progressive" overly used by self proclaimed "open minded" twats who can't fathom someone elses more conservative view or opinion on a topic.

    When you convince someone that their way of thinking is wrong and they reply with
    'ah yer, I know buhh...'

    Arghh!

    Normally that's when you haven't convinced someone, but they want you to stop trying ;)

    "It's well for some."

    Usually said by the sort of person who can't bear to see anyone else being happy.


  • Registered Users Posts: 90 ✭✭Absolutezero


    Banter. Bants. Having the Bants. The word died years ago. Let it rest in peace.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,987 ✭✭✭Kerrigooney


    "Long story short"

    Usually used at the end of a mind numbingly boring story that's gone on for 10 mins.

    Why didn't you make the long story short 10 minutes ago you prick?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,208 ✭✭✭✭B.A._Baracus


    "sambo" & "brekkie"

    Just poncy words I think.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,872 ✭✭✭strobe


    When one person in a couple says "we're pregnant" or "we're trying to get pregnant"...

    ...Oh really, both of you huh? And here was me with no idea you two were fucking hermaphrodites.

    Cunts.

    Ah, the rage. Brilliant.

    'Bits and bobs' like when you ask somebody if they are all set for Christmas they answer 'just a few more bits and bobs' to do...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,554 ✭✭✭Pat Mustard


    People who are not religious who say that they are spiritual.

    Clowns.

    This being a phrase I use a lot, I believe you misunderstand it's meaning-

    "I could care less...", implies that if one cared at all, they could care less, the implied meaning being that they don't care at all. It's sarcasm.

    "I couldn't...", implies that they do actually care, but they could care less.

    'Pre drinks' is a phrase which makes me incredibly angry. How can you 'pre drink' something? Ridiculous. Totes is not a word, spell 'totally' you lazy arsehole. A friend of mine told me that she needed a DMC and I asked her what the hell that meant, apparently it means a 'deep, meaningful conversation'. I almost choked on my own vomit.

    When someone drops money when paying for an item and says "There's luck between us"

    "Thanks hun"

    "Thanks pet"

    :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 754 ✭✭✭repsol


    "new Irish" .Someone who entered the country illegally from some God forsaken kip in order to claim social welfare is not "new Irish".


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 12,536 Mod ✭✭✭✭Amirani


    Information Systems lecturer of mine is particularly fond of talking about hardware, software and fecking persware. That is 'person-ware' or the people aspect of an information system. Disgusts me.

    How come nobody's mentioned all of those nouns that have been turned into verbs???
    e.g. to leverage something.

    And, to a previous poster, it looks like "amazing" is being replaced by "awesome". In my day, things were awesome if they were truly incredible and happened only once in a blue moon, not every cup of coffee made from a machine (probably with beans a camel shat out or something like that...) etc.

    Can't stand when people say "pardon my french". What the fcuk does that mean? Are the French noted cursers?

    "I'm not being smart but..."

    At least they're literally not being smart:rolleyes:


  • Registered Users Posts: 182 ✭✭twistyj


    Im not going to get into them now as there is too many to list but

    all the Americanisms and Britishisms that Irish people loved to use now.

    I dont know if they dont reallise it or that they are embarrassed to speak in their native accent or they just dont know what it is to be Irish anymore.

    In my opinion, Ireland is having a serious identity crisis.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,465 ✭✭✭✭cantdecide


    "Sharing is caring". Always in that tone...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,039 ✭✭✭MJ23


    "i was going to"
    "i should have"
    "says you"
    Words like...... Sahurrda, buhhur, washer (water), begorrah, janey mac


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,963 ✭✭✭Meangadh


    Frape.

    Grrrrrrr.

    Yeah I know, I just didn't know what else to call it! :o

    If you're going to do it to someone, it had better be absolutely hilarious and original. Otherwise, don't bother. It's always the same stuff- they're gay, or in love with someone, or a girl declaring she has a penis, or someone declaring they have some sort of STD. Wow. Groundbreaking comedy right there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    Happy out.

    Out fcuking where?!!?!?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 81 ✭✭RossPaws


    "Over-exaggerate" is something people always seem to say and it makes me want to hurt them. Just say exaggerate!

    Also "Storrrry bud."

    Its euro not euros. That really annoys me.

    Also people who say 'I done it' instead of 'I did it'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,807 ✭✭✭Custardpi


    Its euro not euros. That really annoys me.

    "Official practice for English-language EU legislation is to use the words euro and cent as both singular and plural, although the European Commission's Directorate-General for Translation states that the plural forms euros and cents should be used in English".

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,400 ✭✭✭Medusa22


    I'm pleased that everyone seems to be filled with as much bile and rage as me. Another phrase that annoys me is ''same difference'' and people who say 'LOL' in real life and the word 'amazeballs' makes me want to rock back and forth in a corner. Ah, that was cathartic.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,997 ✭✭✭latenia


    'Chicken' as a term of endearment, often used by lower class fag hags.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89 ✭✭Chun Li


    "No recession in that house"

    I hate people who go out of their way to pronounce words in the 'proper' way. Yes, it's espresso not expresso but when people start putting on a lisp to say Barcelona or with croissant — as an English loan word, there's no 'q' and there is a 't'.

    Pronouncing words correctly is now a bad thing? Who knew?

    Also, people who say "Who knew?" gets on my (ample) tits.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,861 ✭✭✭Irishcrx


    'Ya know like'...like...like...'ya know whatimean'...ya know....like....ya knowhwatimean....ya know...yaknowwhatimean'

    'bud'

    'son'

    'youngfella'

    'Good lad'

    'Well boy'

    ya know what i mean?


  • Registered Users Posts: 49,731 ✭✭✭✭coolhull


    "at this moment in time"
    "I'm glad you said that"
    "yeah, right"


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,750 ✭✭✭iDave


    Adding 'much' onto words or sentences for no reason i.e Happy much.
    Please die.
